What is the best way to keep something like this from happening?
How do you feel about your own safety?

On Friday, December 14, while we played Civic Mirror in room 134 at PHS, a gunman murdered 26 people at an elementary school in Newtown, Connecticut. 20 of them were children. Most were in Grade 1. The school had recently installed security measures to keep people like him out of the building, but this happened just the same.

The best way to keep something like that from happening is having more control over weapons especially in the US and ban them. and i feel pretty safe i guess, but anything can happen

I don't even know how someone could be so heartless to just gun down 20 children let alone anybody.

The best way from keeping something like this fro happening is to get bars on the windows get medal doors and have locks on every door going in to the school thta are always locked. I dont think this will happen tho so I believe anything else done will not be 100 percent safe. There really is nothing we can do to stop people from coming in tho. I usally feel pretty safe about being at school until hear about stuff like this because then i just get paranoid.

I think its very weired that the school just put in a new security messure and this still happened. Im not really sure of a good way to stop this from happening but we should find one out. I feel safe at school just because all the people around and the teachers.

To keep something like this from happening, people are saying to get better gun laws and make it so no one can own a gun, because without a gun this stuff wouldn't happen and I completely disagree with that. If someone was set on doing something like this they could use anything. Cars kill more people a year than guns do and no one is talking about taking cars off the street. I think a way for things like this to stop is if the gun laws weren't as strict. Say the teachers all had a gun locked up in their room then all of them could have stopped it and it wouldn't of gotten out of hand. If people knew that others could stop them, they would be too scared to even try.

Unlike the US, Canada has gun control. the best way to prevent it from happening is to practice the necisery precausans to stay safe in a situation. A creeper cant get me if i am in a locked room. I feel safe in Canada because of our gun control. I know that there are people that can help me if I do feel unsafe. I find that it is weird that people want to hurt children. It is so sad...

The best way to this from happening is to The best way to this from happening is to have a better alarm system, so then when a problem like this happens you will just have press a button to inform the police to come. I think in each classroom there should be a small closet, that can fit the classI do feel safe but you never know when it can occur to have something like to happen.

When something like this happens everyone is shocked that something like it did happen. But the fact it everyone knows eventually it will happen thats why we have been practicing what to do ever since kindergarten. Knowing this it makes me feel preety good about my safety. But saying this im also concerned that all we practice is what to do when the shooter is outside but what do we do when they get inside? i guess its that whole fight or flight thing but still 6 year old kids cant run that fast and they cant fight a full grown man.this is why i think they should check to make sure the security is good enough to stop this from happening.

The best way from something like this to happen is to have an alarm system. At a time when something like this actually does happen, you will only have push a button to inform the police to come. I think the should be ametal closet in each room, so when a intruder enters, you will be safe because of the protection in the closet. I do feel safe at school because there are many people in the school to feel comfortable.

Honestly, crazy people are crazy if someone has a certain drive to do bad things to someone and someone family, then nothing will stop them. Sure, you can you install a certain security that can try to prevent something like this from happening but look at this case, the school just installed fresh security and the crazy man still manged to break in and kill lots of people. So really what I'm trying to say is no security will stop someone if there crazy enough. Also I do feel safe because things like this rarely ever happen.

i think the best way to prevent it is to have ID locks on ever single door and have metal wired windows on solid steel doors. i feel safe at this school even though none of the doors are locked. there is a small chane it could happen herwe but i dont thi k it would, so i feel pretty safe here.
